Every year, thousands of students apply for a small number of places in top business schools. With similar grades, backgrounds, and goals, many applicants have only one thing that can help them stand out from the masses: the application essay. It’s the best chance you have to shine and tip the balance in your favor.

Essays That Worked for Business Schools shows that the best essays are brief, sincere, and personal. Some are a little quirky, some are dry, some are bold—but each essay gives a unique perspective on its creator that grades and GMAT scores can’t reveal.

One applicant writes about starting his own airline. Another tells about corruption in his job as a defense contractor. And a third reflects on his license plate. From the thousands submitted each year, the essays in this book were considered some of the best by admissions officers at the nation’s top MBA programs. With pithy advice from admissions officers and experts, the book clearly demonstrates that you can turn almost any topic into an effective essay for your application.

Essays That Worked for Business Schools will educate you, inspire you, and help you write an essay that will give you the best chance of getting into the school of your choice.
